There are the random lines where you can see anywhere between 4-6 (4 happens, but 5 or 6 is rare). On reserve you will get to request 2 series of 3 consecutive days where you are guaranteed to be off and scheduling can't call you. Choice of these days are seniority based. There isn't much room for trading, dropping, swapping trips because of the lack of reserve coverage. I was denied everything for July except for adding a trip.

We are running a little behind with hiring especially for the summer months. Looks like we are putting 20-25 through a month. Reserve guys are slim and they are working hard. There are still a lot of airplanes coming and we need all the guys we can get. As an August new-hire, IMO I think you could still expect a 24 month upgrade.

FYI, 6 people in our July 6th class. Apparently there were supposed to be nine but they didn't show so they are going to the late July class.
